Profile:Match2™ is a powerful predictive tool that links personality to on-the-job performance. Assessments are tailored to the requirements of a specific job and incorporate analysis of the behaviours and competencies that are critical to success in that role.

The only personality test that specifically addresses risk and decision making.

Success involves optimising opportunities and managing risks. This assessment measures the intrinsic dispositions of our Risk Type, which impact on all life and career decisions. For individuals, teams and organisations, Risk Type has a persistent and pervasive influence on the way we perceive, manage and make decisions about risk.
